Geneva- I have! When we've gone to Canton, I've bought goats milk soap that smelled wonderful! It was just wrapped in wax paper. so I brought it home and put it in a bowl. It smelled divine. Then I remembered. My Granny used to tell me to open the soap and take it out of the paper, let it breathe, and it lasts longer. Now, I don't know if that is true, I was just a kid when she told me that; but, I take out the store bought soaps too. Of course, the IVORY is the best smelling to me...but I like the smell of Irish Spring when you walk in the bathroom, too. and if you flip it around so the stamped words aren't showing...they're just as pretty. ---Pat

Hello, Dear! I've come to your blog from the blog of one of my sweet commenters ~ you know how that goes ~ :) ~ I have always ADORED soap...when I was little I wanted a new soap at the grocery store instead of candy, can you believe it? (Now I will take choclate AND soap, thank you!) :) Now following you!So nice to "meet" you!Hugs,Anne

I love nice soap, too. Although I've never made any from scratch, once I grated an unscented bar of Pure and Natural ($1.00 for 3 bars at Dollar Tree), melted it with just a bit of water, added some essential oil and oats. Stirred it up and poured it into some molds. Took a couple of weeks for it to get firm. Lovely - I had nice, handmade-looking soap for almost nothing.

Well now I'm going to have to run out to Big Lots! Yes, I am loving a soap now that had been sitting around since last summer, decorating a bowl in my bathroom. I bought it at the local farmers market. It's a handmade pine/balsam scented soap and was tied with a bow and had a little pine cone attached. It smells divine!

Hi Geneva, I love the way you have displayed the soap...especially in the pretty glass jar. I love pretty soap too but can't use some because of the heavy frangrance. That hasn't stopped me from displaying it though. When we visted greece I brought home twenty bars of soap made with local olive oil. It is the best soap! Thanks for visiting and I am now a follower.xx, Sherry

Hi Geneva, I love pretty soaps too! I have a jar sitting by my tub in the master bath. Others I just add mostly for display. They are so pretty and smell so nice. I love how you've displayed yours. I did make lavender soap once. It was an easy recipe I got out of the paper. We did it for a church womans activity night. Everything had to do with soap. You just poured it into milk carton then peeled it off after it set. I sometimes buy homemade soaps at boutiques. They are fairly pricey. Really should try making my own. I'm kind of like Pooh too. lol! Thanks for sharing with SYC.hugs,Jann
